To Do: - oil change - build and test vid cam mount - install laptop mount - wheel spacers - clean out trunk - wash & wax
Co driver is Justin who's also a photographer, so I'll be able to get some driving in.

okay, tonight, car washed. bug & tar remover. oi. lots of bugs and tar. and red stains where the tar was, that will never come out of the paint. oh well, 7 year old car. can't expect miracles.
tomorrow: wax. detail: protectant on all gaskets, tires, etc. also need to get to the junkyard where i saw 16" stock wheels on a mercury mystique - i want a full-sized spare for the rally (being limited to 50mph on a donut for 12 hours would suck)
then, before friday: get FRS radio, install a tinted windshield banner (been missing this since they failed my inspection for my old one), oil change, and check all my suspension torque.
it's all coming together. no time left for the "big stuff" i wanted to do, but enough time to cover the bases to ensure i will have a kickass fun weekend of driving and shooting the sh*t with my brother.
oh - also, buy an extra accessory belt and throw it in the back. y'know, just in case.

Clean oil filter today[DONE], then oil[DONE], then ckeck lug and suspension torques[DONE-DONE], and give the car a full once-over, check hoses, fuel lines, belt, etc[DONE-DONE-DONE]... and see what else is broke [NOTHING YET, BUT A BRAKE DUCT AIR HOSE WAS STARING TO COOK AGAINST THE HEADER PIPE- FIXED], clean and apply Rain-X to the front & rear windshields [DONE] : ) No AC this year since I took it out when I had the engine built..... May need some car air freshener : ) Got the new exhaust on the other day and it's so much quieter I had to keep checking the dash when I pull the clutch in because I kept thinking the engine stalled, it was so much quieter than the old one...I can even hear my crappy sterio now....
